IMO there's a bigger jump from RCA Composite to S-Video than there is from S-Video to Component or RGB. I have a Sega Genesis connected via a SCART to Component box on the same TV and there's not much noticeable difference between the SNES and Genesis picture quality. Since SNES outputs S-Video without modification (something the Genesis can't do), I'd connect it that way (cables are easy to find). |

If you can get your hands on an RGB monitor, I highly recommend getting one for retro gaming (240p and possibly 480i) along with the appropriate BNC and SCART adapters. The sharp picture, beautiful colors, and excellent contrast will make you wonder why most consumer CRTs were abysmal in quality. I also miss my 34-inch Sony XBR-series CRT HDTV. I'd get another one if I didn't have to ask for help moving it. |

I've ordered some cables for S-Video and SCART to play around with. Hopefully they won't take long getting here from overseas. The wait is gonna kill me. |

As you're in Australia and are using a European set, you'll want to confirm you ordered PAL ones. This is more of an issue for folks in North America with NTSC, though, as we don't have SCART connectors on consumer television sets, so SCART cables are considerably rarer. |
